Network Topologies and Communication

Why are networks important?

• They reduce the need for hardware devices.

• They enable resource sharing and support business operations.

• They eliminate the need for the internet.

• They ensure 100% secure communication.

Which network topology connects all devices to a central hub?

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

• Star topology

• Mesh topology

In which topology do all devices share a single communication line?

• Ring topology

• Bus topology

• Star topology

• Mesh topology

What is a key advantage of using a network for communication?

• It ensures faster hardware performance.

• It enables email and video calls.

• It removes the need for internet connections.

• It reduces the cost of storage devices.

Which network topology connects devices in a circular manner?

• Star topology

• Mesh topology

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

In a mesh topology, how are devices connected?

• To a central hub

• In a circular fashion

• Every device connects to every other device

• Through a single shared communication line

Which topology offers the highest level of redundancy?

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Bus topology

• Mesh topology

What is one reason businesses rely on computer networks?

• To replace physical devices

• To share resources and facilitate decision-making

• To eliminate the need for communication

• To reduce internet traffic

What is the role of computer networks in resource sharing?

• They provide private connections for each device.

• They allow sharing of hardware like printers and storage.

• They reduce the cost of individual components.

• They restrict access to files and applications.

Which of the following is a drawback of a bus topology?

• It is expensive to set up.

• If the main communication line fails, the entire network is affected.

• It has too much redundancy.

• It is difficult to expand or add new devices.
